Rockstar presents Grand Theft... Ping Pong?

It's been revealed unto us: the "unexpected" new 360 game that IGN promised to unveil is none
other than... Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis! Yup. The bad boys behind Grand Theft Auto are
intent on delivering a game experience that puts you inside the seedy, gritty world of underground table tennis...
actually, it's not like that at all. Rockstar's Sam Houser says:

"We wanted to create a sports game
with the intensity of a fighting game and the sense of speed and control that would make playing it a more intense and
more visceral experience than has previously been possible with sports games. It's not just about looking better,
feeling better or animating better but about using the power of the hardware to make a game that engages with you on a
different physical and emotional level."

We knew they were working on a new
franchise for the Xbox 360, but this isn't quite what we expected from them. Wait--franchise? There're going to be
more than one. I can see it now: Table Tennis 2K7. The first version of Rockstar Games Presents Table
Tennis is due in May for a refreshing $39.99.
